Carlijn Jacobs – Eyes

Note Note Editions presents Note Note Collection, a singular editorial project positioned between fanzine and book that presents in images the recurring “obsessions” that in- form the work of contemporary photographers.

With each issue, a photographer is invited to use these pages as a forum for exploring a favorite theme or feature a person or thing that is meaningful for him or her, in a way that is funny and absurd or weighty and serious.

For this debut issue, Carlijn Jacobs chose the eye, a highly symbolic subject that embodies human knowledge and divine omniscience but which is, above all, a complex and fascinating organ that has been the subject of stories and representations since the dawn of time.
